Celtics Jaylen Brown targeted as string of burglaries at athletes homes grows


A string of high-profile burglaries is crossing over from the turf to the hardwood. While Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown dribbled down the court in Washington D.C., police were responding to his mom’s house for a reported break-in.

Massachusetts police found a broken window at the residence on Sunday, Dec. 15, but nothing was reported to be stolen. The inside of the house appeared to be mostly undisturbed according to Wellesley police.

Brown spoke out at a press conference on Thursday, Dec. 19, where he told reporters it’s been a tough week. He said he’s thankful his mom and nephew are safe, but was shook up about their security being compromised.

“Thank God nothing serious or physical or threatening happened, but the fact that it could have just kind of lingers in your mind,” he said.

Less than 20 minutes away, Brown’s assistant coach also experienced a burglary that same day. Law enforcement said a lot of jewelry was stolen from the home while no one was inside.

Local police are investigating and looking for possible suspects. They urged the community to use security systems if possible. It’s a message echoed by both the NBA and NFL as professional athletes have been the target of burglaries.

Most recently, thieves broke into the homes of football stars Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

While it’s unclear right now if the break-ins are connected, the NBA isn’t taking any chances with its athletes. They warned players that the FBI believes a South American group may be behind the crimes.

The Celtics released a statement following the incidents. They said they are working with authorities in their investigation and said the safety of players and staff is number one for the team.
